Abstract
Knowledge transfer has a particular relevance for enterprises with large research and development (R&D) departments. Project Portfolio Management (PPM) is a discipline often applied to structure and align R&D activities. Typical functions of such standardized process are project data repository, project assessment, selection, reporting, and portfolio reevaluation. In this work we discuss how PPM can benefit from knowledge transfer activities and suggest some specific knowledge transfer tasks within the PPM process. This enhancement is based on a knowledge and learning strategy and process in the context of PPM. We also evaluate the applicability of these extensions at different stages of the PPM process.
